You guys realize that something ridiculous like 85% of drunk driving accidents are caused by people with an alcohol % over 0.2? Lowering the limit from 0.1 to 0.08 was retarded.

A writer for the Akron Beacon Journal did his own un-official study where him and a buddy went to the inventor's hall of fame and tested their response time, went to a bar had 4 beers each, came back and did it again. His buddy had a faster response the second time, they both did better than several other random testers who had consumed no alcohol.

Don't get me wrong, I think drunk driving is retarded, but having 4 drinks at happy hour shouldn't be a life altering offense.

FWIW, I was in a drunk driving accident (the sober side of a head-on collision on an interstate highway, so ~120 mph) where I almost died. Obv I didn't, but my ankle will bother me for the rest of my life (and will probably turn arthritic around 50).
